Super Bowl ads used to define the culture. People literally quoted them for years after the ads aired.

The ads today are just slop. Don’t know if I saw a single good one.

Bad Bunny’s beautiful and joyful portrayal of Puerto Rico stands on the shoulders of Kendrick Lamar’s love letter to Compton last year.

Watching the biggest performance in the world become a representation of real people in real, American places is beautiful. #SuperBowl

Me: I don't totally understand what I'm watching but I love it.

Them: I don't totally understand what I'm watching so I hate it.

It’s so jarring to go back to something so lackluster and devoid of flavor after that Bad Bunny performance

A guy on the LIRR is watching the Super Bowl on his phone at full volume.

Since he's acting like we're all in his living room, I asked if he had any spinach dip.

Bounce this little nugget at your watch party tonight: The name "Super Bowl" was created in Dallas. It was invented by Lamar Hunt, writing a letter to NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle in a letter back in 1966. Hunt's daughter played with a toy called the Super Ball and the phrase stuck in his head.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

If you need to understand the psychic history of America it's Moby Dick, and madness for money and oil at the expense of other people, then read blood meridian to understand our blood lust and chaotic desperation for a moral and lawless money lust at the expense and death of others.

Oh my, yes. All the Trump voters are ever so surprised at the way Trump is suddenly behaving. What did he ever do in the past that would have caused these voters to take pause in the last election?? It’s a head scratcher. For sure.
